Running Accomplishments:

Stay in the game, keep in the moment - have conquered a few of the holy grails of running - sub 3hr marathon, ran Boston and qualified for Boston at Boston, 10K PR under 6 min miles, won a couple of 5Ks in my early days of running, running for 30 years and ran 39 marathons.  The transistion to the back of the pack has not been easy, but, acceptance, stay in the game, root for others, enjoy the rest of the journey.  Another off the bucket list second =  Provo Half IM -  have done 6 open water Tris and 6 pool Tris.  Gave the STG IM a good Tri, hope to take another shot at the IM.

Short-Term Running Goals:

 2013 Race Plan - STG Half IronMan, Lake Mead Rage Olympic distance, STG spring relay tri, STG half marathon, STG marathon, Cozumel IM, Utah Summer Games Triathlon at Gunlock, Murray 5k with family and Utah Half Distance Triathlon, 187 mile red rock relay,  STG marathon,

*note of clarification - cross training miles from biking and swimming calculated as follows: (as someone may wonder) 20 mile an hour bike = 5 cross training miles (those not familar with a 20 mph pace, good bike effort for long distance,  swimming, convert 1 hour swimming to 5 cross training miles.  For those that do not swim much, great cardio workout.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Enjoy the Swim, Bike Run thru Life - Hope to Run a Few Races Support Sylvie - Be a good coach   - Support Jenna, Jeremy, Taylor and Bonnie - my kids are now into running, who would of thunk it.  long term goals, recover from the ankle sprain, accept was it, have fun racing, mountain biking, faster swimming.

 

B of BS Rools Recent Reading List - In order of recommended reads.

Once a Runner (John L. Parker, Jr.)  Best fictional running book ever, a must read

Again to Carthage (John L. Parker, Jr.)  The Sequel to Once a Runner, not often a sequel compares, this one does 

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running ( Haruki Murakami)  things we have may all thought, but may never blog

Roughing It - Mark Twain 

 

Personal:

BSRools, the B stands for Brent and the S for Sylvie.  The Rools come from my personal running rools over the years: Never complain once the run starts, allways pick up the pace into the wind and always pick up the pace on a hill. If someone whines, pick up the pace.  Once a goal is set, no whining, regardless of setbacks.  We were running when running was not Kool.   Kool comes from a race story, ran my first race, 5K wearing a "beanie that had "Kool Aid Kid"

Easy spin, BYU, so upsetting about the football delima, I am a Utah fan and alumni, but, BYU is second, hope they get an independent deal.  Utah state is dumber than dumb, turning down the MWC.

What does this have to do with running?  Well, nothing

lunch time - hard 12 minutes spin, 23 mph, 1 mile milly at 4% grade 9 min pace.   The race last saturday beat me up.  

First open water swim, Herriman with Dianamal, my swim coach and life gaurd.  500 yrds.   It was not scary, the wet suit helped, had one momenet of panic when my goggles filled with water.  Di stayed right along with me, coaching and keeping an eye on me.   We chatted with several other triathletes, it was fun chit chatting about Tris.  Also, they were all very supportive of my first open water swim.   I was very excited to swim 500 yrds open water.   This swim gave me confidence, I can do it.

JRP run with Sylive, we got a late start, hotter than expected, 12 was enough for me, rode with Sylive for her last 6, she ran 18, then rode 32 miles on the bike with a good effort.  We seen many runners on the parkway, one of the running stores was sponsoring a run.

100 cruches with 20lbs, dumbell pull, bench press, fly and pulls, 3 wall squat and 3 bridges of one minute each.  Good week of training.  Did not seen the chumps, they been have been long gone before we started.
